Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a novel fluorine-containing compound useful as a lubricant for precision machines and precision parts which require high-precision lubrication, or as a surfactant, a mold-release agent, a rust preventive, etc.; a process for producing the fluorine-containing compound; a lubricant composition comprising the fluorine-containing compound; and a magnetic recording medium such as a magnetic tape, a magnetic disk, etc., the lubricant layer of which comprises the fluorine-containing compound.
  • a lubricant layer on the surface of a magnetic layer is formed to a thickness of only several tens angstroms to increase the output by reducing the loss due to the spacing between a magnetic recording medium and a magnetic head as much as possible while assuring the durability and the practical reliability. Therefore, it is an important problem to develop an organic compound having an excellent lubricating capability, as a material for forming the lubricant layer.
  • lubricants for thin-metal-film type magnetic recording medium those having a fluorocarbon chain in the molecule are excellent in compatibility with thin metal films, and hence there have been proposed various fluorocarbon-based lubricants (for instance, Japanese Patent Application Kokai Nos. 61-107527, 61-107528, 61-107529, 62-92225, 62-92226 and 62-92227).
  • various fluorocarbon-based lubricants for instance, Japanese Patent Application Kokai Nos. 61-107527, 61-107528, 61-107529, 62-92225, 62-92226 and 62-92227.
  • compounds comprising a perfluralkyl polyether chain have been proposed as lubricants for magnetic recording medium (for instance, U.S. Pat. No. 3,778,308 and Japanese Patent Application Kokai No. 60-109028).
  • fluorine-containing compounds having the molecular structure shown below have been proposed as surfactants: ##STR2## wherein R 6 is a hydrogen atom or an aliphatic alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, R 8 is an aliphatic alkylene group having 1, 2 or 5 carbon atoms, and h is zero or an integer of 1 to 8 (U.S. Pat. No. 3,798,265).
  • a lubricant for thin-metal-film type magnetic recording medium should satisfy.
  • the lubricant should adhere strongly to the surface of the thin metal film or the protective film of the medium and the surface of a magnetic head to form a coating layer on each of the surfaces, and groups of molecules of the lubricant should easily be sheared from one another on the contact point of the coating layers, namely, on the surface on which the magnetic recording medium and the magnetic head slide.
  • Perfluoroalkyl polyethers heretofore well-known as lubricants for magnetic recording medium are good in the ease of shearing between groups of molecules because substantially the whole surface of each molecule is covered with fluorine atoms. But since the polarity of the molecules is low, the conventional lubricants have a low adhesive strength to the surface of a thin metal film or a protective film and the surface of a magnetic head. For removing this defect, there have been proposed perfluoroalkyl polyethers having various polar groups introduced into the ends of the molecule. But when their molecular weight is 3,000 or more, no sufficient effect of the introduction of the polar groups can be obtained.
  • the interaction between molecules of the perfluoroalkyl polyether is weak, so that the amount of such a lubricant is decreased by its evaporation.
  • the perfluoroalkyl polyethers and the terminally modified products thereof are poor in adhesive properties to the surface of a thin metal film or a protective film and the surface of a magnetic head, and in stability. Consequently, thin-metal-film type magnetic recording media obtained by using these compounds as lubricants have been poor in reliability on durability, in particular, in performance characteristics in low-humidity circumstances in which the aggregation of a magnetic metal tends to occur on the surface of a magnetic head.
  • the fluorocarbon-based lubricants disclosed in the above prior art references have heretofore been used in thin-metal-film type magnetic recording media because of their excellent compatibility with thin metal films, but have been disadvantageous in that they cannot give a sufficient durability in a low-humidity circumstance of 10% RH or less.
  • a process for producing a fluorine-containing alkylsuccinic acid derivative has been proposed in Japanese Patent Application Kokai No. 61-257226. Specifically, in this process, the fluorine-containing alkyl-succinic acid derivative is obtained by subjecting a mixture of equimolar amounts of a higher alcohol having a perfluoroalkyl group and alkylsuccinic anhydride to reaction with heating at 60° to 150° C. in the atmosphere.
  • This process is effective against perfluoroalkyl group, but has been disadvantageous in that when an alcohol having a fluoroalkyl ether group is used in place of the higher alcohol having a perfluoroalkyl group, the yield of the fluorine-containing alkylsuccinic acid derivative is as very low as 10% or less because the reactivity of the former alcohol is considerably lower than that of the latter alcohol.
  • a process for producing a nitrogen-containing perfluoro(carboxylic acid fluoride) has been proposed in Japanese Patent Application Kokai No. 64-70450. Specifically, in this process, a perfluoro(3-dialkylamino-n-butyric fluoride) is obtained by electrolyzing a reactive derivative of 3-dialkylamino-n-butyric acid in liquid hydrogen fluoride.
  • This process has been disadvantageous not only in that both of the two aliphatic hydrocarbon end groups in the molecule of the product are perfluoroalkyl groups, but also in that it is difficult to utilize an aliphatic long-chain alkyl group or an aliphatic polyalkyl oxide group.
  • the phthalic acid diester having a perfluorobutenyloxy group is obtained by adding 2 to 20 moles of an aliphatic alcohol having an alkyl group having 1 to 15 carbon atoms and 0.01 to 1 mole of concentrated sulfuric acid per mole of a phthalic anhydride derivative having a perfluorobutenyloxy group, and carrying out the reaction with refluxing the alcohol or at 100° to 150° C. for 30 minutes to 24 hours.
  • a process for producing a perfluoroalkyl-substituted half ester or a perfluoroalkyl-substituted half amide has been proposed in Japanese Patent Application Kokai No. 54-84524.
  • the perfluoroalkyl-substituted half ester or half amide is obtained by reacting maleic anhydride with a hydroxy-substituted or amino-substituted nonionic compound (e.g. an aliphatic alkyl alcohol or an aliphatic alkyl amine) at room temperature or at 50° to 100° C.
  • a hydroxy-substituted or amino-substituted nonionic compound e.g. an aliphatic alkyl alcohol or an aliphatic alkyl amine
  • the perfluoro-alkyl-substituted half ester or half amide can be obtained also by reversing the order of the above reactions.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a novel fluorine-containing compound which imparts a high reliability on durability to thin-metal-film type magnetic recording media in all circumstances including low-humidity circumstances; a lubricant composition comprising the fluorine-containing compound; and a magnetic recording medium such as a magnetic tape, a magnetic disc, etc., the lubricant layer of which comprises the fluorine-containing compound.
  • the present inventors conducted various researches in consideration of the problems in the prior art and consequently have found that a fluorine-containing compound having in the molecule a fluoroalkyl ether end group, an aliphatic hydrocarbon end group and a specific polar end group is most suitable as a lubricant for thin-metal-film type magnetic recording medium.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a novel fluorine-containing compound useful as a lubricant for precision machines and precision parts which require high-precision lubrication, or as a surfactant, a mold-release agent, a rust preventive, etc.; a process for producing the fluorine-containing compound; a lubricant composition comprising the fluorine-containing compound; and a magnetic recording medium such as a magnetic tape, a magnetic disk, etc., the lubricant layer of which comprises the fluorine-containing compound.
2. Description of the Prior Art
With minuaturization and an increase in precision of machines and parts thereof, the mode of lubrication in their sliding portions has come to be changed from hydrodynamic lubrication to boundary lubrication. Particularly in electronic machines and electronic parts, for example, VTR and magnetic discs, high-precision lubrication has become necessary for sliding a magnetic tape or a magnetic disc on a magnetic head, because of employment of thin ferromagnetic metal films for improving the packing density. For example, in metallized tapes and hard discs, a lubricant layer on the surface of a magnetic layer is formed to a thickness of only several tens angstroms to increase the output by reducing the loss due to the spacing between a magnetic recording medium and a magnetic head as much as possible while assuring the durability and the practical reliability. Therefore, it is an important problem to develop an organic compound having an excellent lubricating capability, as a material for forming the lubricant layer.
As lubricants for thin-metal-film type magnetic recording medium, those having a fluorocarbon chain in the molecule are excellent in compatibility with thin metal films, and hence there have been proposed various fluorocarbon-based lubricants (for instance, Japanese Patent Application Kokai Nos. 61-107527, 61-107528, 61-107529, 62-92225, 62-92226 and 62-92227). In addition, compounds comprising a perfluralkyl polyether chain have been proposed as lubricants for magnetic recording medium (for instance, U.S. Pat. No. 3,778,308 and Japanese Patent Application Kokai No. 60-109028).
On the other hand, fluorine-containing compounds having the molecular structure shown below have been proposed as surfactants: ##STR2## wherein R6 is a hydrogen atom or an aliphatic alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, R8 is an aliphatic alkylene group having 1, 2 or 5 carbon atoms, and h is zero or an integer of 1 to 8 (U.S. Pat. No. 3,798,265).
The following is an important requirement which a lubricant for thin-metal-film type magnetic recording medium should satisfy. The lubricant should adhere strongly to the surface of the thin metal film or the protective film of the medium and the surface of a magnetic head to form a coating layer on each of the surfaces, and groups of molecules of the lubricant should easily be sheared from one another on the contact point of the coating layers, namely, on the surface on which the magnetic recording medium and the magnetic head slide.
Perfluoroalkyl polyethers heretofore well-known as lubricants for magnetic recording medium are good in the ease of shearing between groups of molecules because substantially the whole surface of each molecule is covered with fluorine atoms. But since the polarity of the molecules is low, the conventional lubricants have a low adhesive strength to the surface of a thin metal film or a protective film and the surface of a magnetic head. For removing this defect, there have been proposed perfluoroalkyl polyethers having various polar groups introduced into the ends of the molecule. But when their molecular weight is 3,000 or more, no sufficient effect of the introduction of the polar groups can be obtained. On the other hand, when the molecular weight is reduced for enhancing the effect of the polar groups, the interaction between molecules of the perfluoroalkyl polyether is weak, so that the amount of such a lubricant is decreased by its evaporation. Thus, the perfluoroalkyl polyethers and the terminally modified products thereof are poor in adhesive properties to the surface of a thin metal film or a protective film and the surface of a magnetic head, and in stability. Consequently, thin-metal-film type magnetic recording media obtained by using these compounds as lubricants have been poor in reliability on durability, in particular, in performance characteristics in low-humidity circumstances in which the aggregation of a magnetic metal tends to occur on the surface of a magnetic head.
On the other hand, the fluorocarbon-based lubricants disclosed in the above prior art references have heretofore been used in thin-metal-film type magnetic recording media because of their excellent compatibility with thin metal films, but have been disadvantageous in that they cannot give a sufficient durability in a low-humidity circumstance of 10% RH or less.
Conventional processes for producing a fluorine-containing compound are described below.
A process for producing a fluorine-containing alkylsuccinic acid derivative has been proposed in Japanese Patent Application Kokai No. 61-257226. Specifically, in this process, the fluorine-containing alkyl-succinic acid derivative is obtained by subjecting a mixture of equimolar amounts of a higher alcohol having a perfluoroalkyl group and alkylsuccinic anhydride to reaction with heating at 60° to 150° C. in the atmosphere. This process is effective against perfluoroalkyl group, but has been disadvantageous in that when an alcohol having a fluoroalkyl ether group is used in place of the higher alcohol having a perfluoroalkyl group, the yield of the fluorine-containing alkylsuccinic acid derivative is as very low as 10% or less because the reactivity of the former alcohol is considerably lower than that of the latter alcohol. Furthermore, this process has been disadvantageous also in that since the position of attachment of the fluoroalkyl ether end group to an aliphatic-alkylcarboxylic acid is limited to the carbon atom at the α or β position adjacent to the carboxyl group, there cannot be obtained a fluorine-containing compound in which the fluoroalkyl ether end group is attached to any of various positions from α position to ω position.
A process for producing a nitrogen-containing perfluoro(carboxylic acid fluoride) has been proposed in Japanese Patent Application Kokai No. 64-70450. Specifically, in this process, a perfluoro(3-dialkylamino-n-butyric fluoride) is obtained by electrolyzing a reactive derivative of 3-dialkylamino-n-butyric acid in liquid hydrogen fluoride. This process has been disadvantageous not only in that both of the two aliphatic hydrocarbon end groups in the molecule of the product are perfluoroalkyl groups, but also in that it is difficult to utilize an aliphatic long-chain alkyl group or an aliphatic polyalkyl oxide group.
A process for producing a phthalic acid diester having a perfluorobutenyloxy group has been proposed in Japanese Patent Application Kokai No. 61-24547. Specifically, in this invention, the phthalic acid diester having a perfluorobutenyloxy group is obtained by adding 2 to 20 moles of an aliphatic alcohol having an alkyl group having 1 to 15 carbon atoms and 0.01 to 1 mole of concentrated sulfuric acid per mole of a phthalic anhydride derivative having a perfluorobutenyloxy group, and carrying out the reaction with refluxing the alcohol or at 100° to 150° C. for 30 minutes to 24 hours. This process has been disadvantageous not only in that both reactive groups of the acid anhydride becomes ester linkage groups, but also in that a fluoroalkyl ether group cannot be utilized because a fluoroalkyl group as the end group is limited to perfluorobutenyloxy group.
A process for producing a perfluoroalkyl-substituted half ester or a perfluoroalkyl-substituted half amide has been proposed in Japanese Patent Application Kokai No. 54-84524. Specifically, in this process, the perfluoroalkyl-substituted half ester or half amide is obtained by reacting maleic anhydride with a hydroxy-substituted or amino-substituted nonionic compound (e.g. an aliphatic alkyl alcohol or an aliphatic alkyl amine) at room temperature or at 50° to 100° C. to obtain a maleic acid half ester or a maleic acid half amide, and then adding a perfluoroalkylalkylene thiol to the thus obtained half ester or half amide at 30° to 75° C. in the presence of a base catalyst. The perfluoro-alkyl-substituted half ester or half amide can be obtained also by reversing the order of the above reactions. These processes have been disadvantageous in that the product obtained by them is a mixture of compounds having a thioether linkage group to the carbon atom at the α or β, respectively, position adjacent to the carboxyl group, so that there cannot be obtained a single fluorine-containing compound having a thioether linkage group only to the carbon atom at the α position.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide a novel fluorine-containing compound which imparts a high reliability on durability to thin-metal-film type magnetic recording media in all circumstances including low-humidity circumstances; a lubricant composition comprising the fluorine-containing compound; and a magnetic recording medium such as a magnetic tape, a magnetic disc, etc., the lubricant layer of which comprises the fluorine-containing compound.
In order to achieve this object, the present inventors conducted various researches in consideration of the problems in the prior art and consequently have found that a fluorine-containing compound having in the molecule a fluoroalkyl ether end group, an aliphatic hydrocarbon end group and a specific polar end group is most suitable as a lubricant for thin-metal-film type magnetic recording medium. The present invention was made on the basis of such finding and a novel production process.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The end groups of the fluorine-containing compounds of the present invention include, for example, the groups described below.
The aliphatic hydrocarbon end groups, i.e., the aliphatic alkyl end group and the aliphatic alkenyl end group, include, for example, ##STR12## wherein each of i and j is an integer of 6 or more, and k is zero or an integer of 1 or more. The number of carbon atoms of each of these end groups is suitably 6 to 30 (preferably 10 to 26). When it is 5 or less, or 31 or more, the lubricating properties are deteriorated.
The fluoroalkyl ether end group includes ##STR13## wherein p is an integer of 1 to 15, and q is an integer of 1 to 45. The number cf carbon atoms of each of these end groups is suitably 50 or less (preferably 40 or less). When it is 51 or more, the effect of the polar end group is lessened.
Processes for producing the fluorine-containing compounds of the present invention are explained below.
A fluorine-containing compound of the general formula [II] can be produced in high yield by subjecting a mixture of equimolar amounts of an aliphatic-alkylsuccinic anhydride or an aliphatic-alkenylsuccinic anhydride and an alcohol having an fluoroalkyl ether group to addition reaction with heating at 100° to 150° C., at a pressure of 3 kg/cm2 or more in an autoclave. As to this addition reaction, a conventional method in which the reaction is carried out at atmospheric pressure gives a very low yield. In the present invention, a high yield can be obtained by finding out a method in which as described above, the reaction is carried out under pressure. In this case, a pressure of at least 3 kg/cm2 is required.
A fluorine-containing compound of the general formula [III] can be obtained by adding a carboxylic acid halide having a fluoroalkyl ether group to a mixed solution of an aliphatic-alkyl oxy-acid or an aliphatic-alkenyl oxy-acid and a base such as triethylamine or pyridine (as a solvent, the base itself or an aprotic anhydrous solvent such as anhydrous benzene or anhydrous ether is suitable) slowly with ice-cooling so as to make the amount of the acid halide equimolar with that of the oxy-acid, subjecting the reactive group of the acid halide and the hydroxyl group of the oxy-acid to esterification, and capturing and removing secondarily produced hydrochloric acid by means of the base.
As to a method for attaching a fluoroalkyl ether group to the hydroxyl group of an oxy-acid, when esterification is carried out by the use of a carboxylic acid having a fluoroalkyl ether group and a conventional acid catalyst at a high temperature, the carboxyl group of the oxy-acid inhibits this reaction, so that the fluoroalkyl group cannot be attached to the hydroxyl group of the oxy-acid. Thus, the present inventors have found that this esterification can be allowed to proceed only by a method in which a carboxylic acid halide having a fluoroalkyl group is used and the reaction is carried out at a low temperature. This finding enabled the production of the fluorine-containing compound of the present invention.
A fluorine-containing compound of the general formula [VII] can be produced by adding an aqueous solution of an weak alkali such as sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate to a mixed solution of equimolar amounts of a secondary alkylamine having a fluoroalkyl ether group and a w-haloalkylcarboxylic acid ester (as a solvent, a hydrophilic solvent such as acetone or methyl ethyl ketone is suitable), refluxing the resulting mixture with heating to induce dehalogention and nitrogen-carbon bonding reaction, and then subjecting the ester linkage group to hydrolysis with a strong alkali to make one of the end groups into a carboxyl group. In the dehalogenation, a carboxyl group inhibits the attack of the ω-haloalkyl group against the imino group because of its high affinity for the imino group. Thus, the present inventors have found that since the presence of a carboxyl group inhibits the dehalogenation, the nitrogen-carbon bonding reaction can be allowed to proceed by masking the carboxyl group, for example, by subjecting the carboxyl group to esterification. This finding also enabled the production of the fluorine-containing compound of the present invention.
A fluorine-containing compound of the general formula [VIII] can be produced by adding an alcohol having a fluoroalkyl ether group to a mixed solution of trimellitic anhydride chloride and a base such as triethylamine or pyridine (as a solvent, the base itself or an aprotic anhydrous solvent such as anhydrous benzene or anhydrous ether is suitable) slowly with ice-cooling so as to make the amount of the alcohol equimolar with that of trimellitic anhydride chloride, capturing and removing secondarily produced hydrochloric acid by means of the base to obtain a trimellitic anhydride fluoroalkyl ether ester, adding to the ester an alcohol having an aliphatic hydrocarbon group in an amount equimolar with the amount of the ester and an aprotic anhydrous solvent such as anhydrous benzene or anhydrous n-heptane, refluxing the resulting mixture with heating at 70° to 140° C. to subject the reactive group of the acid anhydride to ester-addition reaction with the alcohol having an aliphatic hydrocarbon group. The esterification of the trimellitic anhydride chloride is carried out by subjecting the reactive group of acid anhydride to a second-stage reaction after subjecting the reactive group of acid chloride to a first-stage reaction. By these reaction, different alcohol moieties can be introduced into the same molecule through ester linkages. Moreover, one of the carbonyl groups, i.e., the reactive groups of acid anhydride becomes carboxyl end group. Thus, the present inventors have found that in the second-stage reaction, the alcohol attached through an ester linkage by the first-stage reaction does not undergo hydrolysis and transesterification. This finding also enabled the production of the fluorine-containing compound of the present invention.
A fluorine-containing compound of the general formula [IX] can be produced in high yield by subjecting a mixture of equimolar amounts of thiomalic anhydride having an aliphatic alkyl group and an alcohol having a fluoroalkyl ether group to addition reaction with heating at 100° to 150° C., at a pressure of 3 kg/cm2 or more in an autoclave. As to this addition reaction, a conventional method in which the reaction is carried out at atmospheric pressure gives a very low yield. In the present invention, a high yield can be obtained by finding out a method in which, as described above, the reaction is carried out under pressure. In this case, a pressure of at least 3 kg/cm2 is required.
A fluorine-containing compound of the general formula [X] can be produced by adding a base catalyst such as sodium acetate, triethylamine, or pyridine and a polymerization inhibitor such as hydroquinone to a mixed solution of equimolar amounts of a α-mercapto aliphatic-alkylcarboxylic acid and an acrylate or a methacrylate which have a fluoroalkyl ether group (as a solvent, a hydrophilic solvent such as ethanol or methyl ethyl ketone is suitable), and refluxing the resulting mixture with heating to add a group having a carbon-carbon double bond, i.e., an acryl or methacryl group to the mercapto group. The addition reaction of an aliphatic-alkylthiol to an aliphatic-alkylolefin has heretofore been well known [as literature on this reaction, there is, for example, "Yuki lo Kagaku-Gosei Hanno Hen (Organic sulfur Chemistry-Synthetic Reaction)" p. 33, Kagaku Dojin K.K., (1982)]. The present inventor have found that also when an α-mercapto aliphatic-alkylcarboxylic acid is used as a thiol, the above addition reaction proceeds without inhibition by the carboxyl group. This finding also enabled the production of the fluorine-containing compound of the present invention.
As the starting fluoroalkyl ethers used for producing the fluorine-containing compounds of the present invention, there are, for example, the compounds described below.
The alcohol having a fluoroalkyl ether group includes, for example, ##STR14## wherein R6 is a hydrogen atom or an aliphatic alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, R'''2 is an aliphatic alkylene group, p is an integer of 1 to 15, q is an integer of 1 to 45, and r is an integer of 1 or more.
The carboxylic acid halide having a fluoroalkyl ether group includes, for example, ##STR15## wherein R6 is a hydrogen atom or an aliphatic alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, R'''2 is an aliphatic alkylene group, X is a fluorine atom or a chlorine atom, p is an integer of 1 to 15, and q is an integer of 1 to 45.

The acrylate having a fluoroalkyl ether group includes, for example, ##STR17## wherein R6 is a hydrogen atom or an aliphatic alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, R'''2 is an aliphatic alkylene group, p is an integer of 1 to 15, q is an integer of 1 to 45, and r is an integer of 1 or more.

As the lubricant compositions of the present invention, mixtures of a fluorine-containing compound of the general formula [I] and another lubricant are suitable. As the another lubricant, fluorocarbon type lubricants are preferably used. The fluorine-containing compound of the general formula [I] can be used alone as an lubricant. In particular, the fluorocarbon type lubricants described, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Kokai Nos. 61-107527, 61-107528, 61-107529, 62-92225, 62-92226 and 62-92227 are suitable. In addition, other conventional lubricants, rust preventives, etc. can be used in admixture with the fluorine-containing compound of the general formula [I].
The fluorine-containing compound of the general formula [I] should be contained in the lubricant composition in a proportion of 20% or more, preferably 30% or more. When its content is less than 20%, the effect of the present invention can hardly be obtained.
Next, there are explained below examples of thin ferromagnetic-metal-film type magnetic recording medium obtained by forming a lubricant layer comprising the fluorine-containing compound of the general formula [I].
The above-mentioned lubricant composition is applied on the magnetic layer of a thin-ferromagnetic-metal-film type magnetic recording medium directly or with a protective layer between by a conventional wet coating method or a dry coating method such as vacuum deposition. As to the amount of coating, the composition is applied in the form of a thin layer in an amount of 0.05 to 100 mg, preferably 0.1 to 50 mg, per m2 of the surface.
As the thin ferromagnetic metal film, there can be used thin films of Co, Co-Ni, Co-Cr, Co-Fe, Co-Ni-Cr, Co-Ni-Fe, Co-Ni-P, Co-Ni-Ta and the like, and a partially oxidized product thereof. These thin films are formed by vacuum deposition, sputtering, ion plating, plating, etc. If necessary, a primer layer of Cr, Ti or the like can be formed. The thickness of the thin ferromagnetic metal film including the thickness of the primer layer is suitably 500 to 5,000 Å. On the surface of the thin ferromagnetic metal film, there can optionally be formed, for example, a metallic protective layer of Cr, W, NiP or the like; an inorganic protective layer of SiO, SiC, carbon, graphite, diamond-like carbon or the like; an organic protective layer of a fluororesin, silicone resin, epoxy resin, polyamide resin, plasma polymerization product, radiation polymerization product or the like; or a composite protective layer.
As a non-magnetic substrate, there can be used those composed mainly of an oxide such as glass, ceramics or the like; a metal such as Al alloy, Ti alloy or the like; or a plastic such as polyester, polyimide, polyamide-imide, polycarbonate, polyacrylate or the like. In addition, there can be used substrates obtained by optionally forming a Co-P plated film, a polyimide coating film or the like on the surface of any of these materials, and substrates obtained by optionally forming, for example, protuberances in the form of fine particles, hills, waves or the like, or by texturing. The surface roughnness of the substrates is suitably 50 to 600 Å in terms of maximum height (R max.). As their shape, for example tape, film, sheet, disc, card and drum shapes can be chosen depending on purposes.
The fluorine-containing compounds of the present invention have in the molecule a fluoroalkyl ether end group, an aliphatic hydrocarbon end group and a specific polar end group, and their molecular weight is hundreds to about 3,000. Therefore, the effect of the polar end group is sufficiently brought about and the polar end group adheres strongly to the surface of the thin metal film or the protective film and the surface of a magnetic head. In addition, the fluoroalkyl ether end group is exposed at the surface of the lubricant layer to contribute to the reduction of the surface energy and make the surface not adhesive. Furthermore, the aliphatic hydrocarbon end group has a flexible carbon-carbon chain, and molecules of the compound are oriented by the moderate intermolecular interaction with the hydrocarbon chains of adjacent molecules, so that the compound has satisfactory lubricating properties.
Accordingly, by virtue of these synergistic effects of the end groups, a satisfactory lubricating capability is exhibited in all circumstances including low-humidity circumstances. Therefore, the problems in the reliability on durability of a thin-metal-film type magnetic recording medium are solved.
As described above, the fluorine-containing compounds of the present invention can be utilized not only singly but also in the form of a lubricant composition comprising a mixture of the fluorine-containing compound and a conventional compound. Moreover, they can be utilized for producing a magnetic recording medium comprising a lubricant layer comprising the fluorine-containing compound. Therefore, their industrial value is very high.
In Examples 1 to 49, there are specifically described examples of fluorine-containing compound and processes for producing the same. In Examples 50 to 112, there are specifically described examples of magnetic recording medium obtained by using a lubricant composition comprising each of the fluorine-containing compounds.
However, the present invention should not be construed to be restricted by these examples.

EXAMPLES 50 TO 110
There was used a non-magnetic substrate composed of a polyester film and steep hill-shaped protuberances formed on the surface of the film in a number of 1×107 per mm2 : in the polyester film, granular protuberances with a gentle slope (average height 70 Å, diameter 1 μm) formed by silica particles contained in the polyester film were present in a number of several protuberances per 100 μm2 of the film surface, and relatively large protruberances formed by fine particles attributable to the residue of a polymerization catalyst had been reduced as such as possible; and the hill-shaped protuberances had been formed by using silica colloidal particles having a diameter of 150 Å as cores and a ultraviolet-curable epoxy resin as a binder. A thin Co-Ni ferromagnetic metal film (Ni content 20%, film thickness 1000 Å) was formed on the substrate in the presence of a slight amount of oxygen by a continuous vacuum oblique deposition method. The oxygen content of the thin film was 5% in terms of atomic fraction.
Each of the above-mentioned fluorine-containing compounds of the present invention or a mixture of the compound and a conventional lubricant was applied on the thin metal film in an amount of 10 mg per m2 of the surface of the thin metal film to form a lubricant layer. Then, the substrate thus treated was cut into a predetermined width to form a magnetic tape. Each of the magnetic tapes thus obtained was set in a commercially available video deck and its output characteristics during repeated running were measured in circumstances of 23° C. and 5% RH. In detail, there was counted the number of runnings which could be conducted until the RF output became lower than its initial value by 3 dB or the output began to vary. Table 1 shows the results obtained. The fluorine-containing compounds of the present invention used are denoted in Table 1 by the above example numbers. Table 1 also shows the measurement results obtained in the case of forming a lubricant layer by the use of a mixture of the fluorine-containing compound of the present invention and a conventional lubricant.
From Table 1, it can be seen that all of the magnetic tape samples having a lubricant layer comprising the fluorine-containing compound of the present invention are excellent in durability in repeated running at a low humidity. On the other hand, as shown for Comparative Examples 1 to 5, the magnetic tape samples having a lubricant layer comprising a conventional lubricant alone are poor in durability at a low humidity.

EXAMPLES 111 TO 171
A plated non-magnetic Ni-P alloy film of 25 μm in thickness was formed on the surface of an Al alloy plate having a diameter of 95 mm and a thickness of 1.2 mm, and protuberances were formed in the surface of the film by texturing so as to adjust the average roughness of the surface to 50 Å and the maximum height of the protuberances to 300 Å, whereby a non-magnetic substrate was obtained. A Cr primer layer of 1,300 Å in thickness and a thin Co-Ni ferromagnetic metal film of 600 Å in thickness were formed on the substrate by sputtering. A graphite protective layer of 200 Å in thickness was further formed on the thin metal film by sputtering. Thus, sample A was obtained. Sample B was obtained in the same manner as above except for forming a diamond-like carbon protective layer of 50 Å in thickness by plasma CVD in place of the graphite protective layer. Each of the above-mentioned fluorine-containing compounds of the present invention or a mixture of the compound and a conventional lubricant was applied on the protective layer of each of these samples in an amount of 10 mg per m2 of the surface of the protective layer to form a lubricant layer. The magnetic discs thus obtained were subjected to a CSS endurance test in circumstances of 23° C. and 5% RH, and the durability was judged by the number of times of CSS at the time when the coefficient of friction exceeded 1.0 or when head crush occurred. Table 2 shows the results obtained. The fluorine-containing compounds of the present invention used are denoted in Table 2 by the above example numbers. Table 2 also shows the test results obtained in the case of forming a lubricant layer by the use of a mixture of the fluorine-containing compound of the present invention and a conventional lubricant.
From Table 2, it can be seen that all of the magnetic disc samples having a lubricant layer comprising the fluorine-containing compound of the present invention are excellent in CSS durability at a low humidity. On the other hand, as shown for Comparative Examples 6 to 10, magnetic disc samples having a lubricant layer comprising a conventional lubricant alone are poor in durability at a low humidity.
